PRIVATE CORPORATIONS.
Mr.. MATTHEW'S (Mr. Dodge in the
! chair,) moved to reconsider the vote of yes
! terday on passing council bill No. Al, for
! amending section 384 Of the civil code. He
called attention to the conflict of its provi-
sion as to the number who may form a
corporation with the general insurance
law of '85. The bill would allow three
persons to incorporate themselves, while
the insurance law requires seven or more.
He thought the effect of the bill would be
to remove one of the safeguards in the law
! of '85 regarding the formation of insurance
companies. TX
Mr.. WASHABAUGH, who introduced
| the bill. had no objection to excepting in
| surance companies and seconded the mo-
| ton. @}#
The motion prevailed and the bill was
! then placed in the order for third reading
| to-day.
